I can't wait until your new Oak Grove mitten pattern comes out! It will be a perfect gift for my sister, plus I am already planning Christmas gifts for 2011 and this pattern will definitely be used for those gifts! And another great podcast, now that I can finally download it after a week plus of problems! Yay!

Oh, man, I am completely in love with the colorway you chose for the Oak Grove mitts, not to mention the design itself. I just got back to Hamburg from a trip back home to Washington, and it reminds me of all the forest there. *sigh/homesick* Think that might end up being a must-knit project for the spring. Thanks so much for this episode, it was great to hear from two fabulous designers again :-) Glad to hear you're feeling better as well.

Hi there Alana, I just wanted to say that I have recently discovered your podcast and LOVE IT! You have a great voice and are clearly a very talented designer. I too am a podcaster (iMake - www.imake.gg) but nowhere near as experienced or established as you! Anyway, keep up the good work. I intend to mention your podcast in my next show which will be out mid-Jan I hope.Best regardsMartine

I've listened to every one of your podcasts, have purchased and made several of your patterns, and LOVE this Oak Grove pattern! Can't wait for it to come out. I have several skeins of Bugga in the Oak Timberworm colorway sitting ready to make these beautiful mitts (single-stranded or doubled, as the pattern may call for) that may be perfect for it, although it might be fun to try it out as a kit first. Thanks for the inspiration you give to so many.

I love , love Hannah's Effortless Cardigan. I made it quickly as I was so excited to have the 'Perfect Sweater' to wear. And the yarn is perfect- Madeline Tosh Calligraphy. Susan susanvknits on ravelry

Alana, I am a fan of your patterns. Love the mitts. I also love the interview with Hannah becuse I myself am recently sleep deprived. My 6 month old daughter is on a sleep strike. I think it is teeth, but I have my projects to keep me company.

Those are awesome mitts! Definitely will go to my queue, :).Hannah's patterns and yarns are also awesome, I've been totally distracted from the day's chores...more enabling by Alana! I look forward to picking a pattern and knitting it up.

Dear Alana:I have just started listening to your podcasts and have been "sleep deprived" by trying to catch up on old ones and clicking all over the web to follow all the great tips and designers that you mention. I am adding so much to my knitting knowledge from you. Also, I can't wait until I can get my husband to listening to your theme song. He can definitely relate

Another wonderful and inspiring podcast, thank you for all your work. And i LOVE the sleep deprivation story too - I'm 25 weeks pregnant with our first one and i haven't slept properly for the last 20 weeks so I know about sleep deprivation and crafts. So great to hear that i'm on the only one who just have to craft even though I can fall asleep standing up somedays.
